Eleven Madison Park had a major announcement to make when it reopened its stately dining room last month for the first time since the pandemic began. The acclaimed New York restaurant — possessor of three Michelin stars, once named No. 1 on the “World’s 50 Best Restaurants” list — would no longer serve animal products.
“It was becoming ever clearer that the current food system is simply not sustainable,” wrote chef Daniel Humm in a statement.
Goodbye to menus lavish with foie gras, honey lavender duck, and suckling pig fashioned into miniature works of art on the plate. Every dish on the tasting menu — $335 per person — would now be plant-based (a frequent euphemism for vegan, without the term’s potential baggage)…
…Reservations for the month of August became available July 1 at 9 a.m. They were gone within minutes.
